Resumo:The relationship between a management focused on quality and the innovation capacity of companies has raised some questions. Is there a relationship between a management focused on quality and the innovation capacity of companies? Does a business management focused on quality provide a favourable or harmful environment for innovation? This study proposes to answer the research questions raised above. The aim will be to identify similarities and differences in several organizations in order to find indications that support the answers to the questions raised. Secondary data was used from a questionnaire of a survey applied in 2020 in 257 companies. Multivariate analysis techniques were used to assess the relationship between a quality-oriented organisational culture and a favourable environment for innovation in organisations. The analysis showed that organisations ranked higher on innovation factors tend to have better rankings on quality factors, while those ranked poorly on innovation have poor quality-focused management.
